Am I just odd?

There are crazy people in every hobby and every walk of life. People are people, no matter where you go. There's always going to be the know-it-all, the used-car-salesman, the narssacist, the I'm-better-than-you, etc. Just shake the dust off your shoes while you walk away from the negative people and hang on to the nice humble friends you make.
 
I was selling my silver aro a few weeks back and had a few people interested. I told them all that it was first come first serve and had this vietnamese guy keep harassing me with phonecalls and texts after i already sold it. I told him i had sold it and he still kept calling. Didn't believe i sold it and offered me $25 more, then $50 more than i was asking. He let up and got the message a few days later.
 
I grew up working in a museum/zoo then transitioned over to combat medicine. One time at the museum a guy brought in a corn snake that he had hit with his lawn mower. Knowing what it was he brought it to the museum and asked if we could save it. There were 3 pieces of snake in a box and not all the pieces were there. I told him the snake was dead and he said in all seriousness, "Well I didnt know if you could put it in water and it would come back." This man was in his 40's. Everything else seemed normal but the concept of death eluded him. Imagine me there a 17 yo kid trying to explain that dead is dead to a man old enough to be my father.
When I was working in medicine one of the secretaries brought me a humming bird. She said that the little guy had hit the window of her office the week before so she picked him up and put him in a towel. She said she thought he was stunned and was worried and asked what I could do. I looked at him his neck was broken and he was slightly bloated. So once again I had to explain the fact that dead is dead to someone who in all other aspects was a perfectly functional adult.
Those are probably my two weirdest experiences with dealing with people and animals.
